You make it sound as if every law-abiding (and almost all non-law-abiding) citizens are at daily risk of being gunned down on the streets on the President's orders. The "American citizens" who got it in the neck were either people who were bound and determined to do us harm, or they were hanging around with people who were of the same persuasion. Getting blown away because you are the driver for a terrorist is an occupational hazard. No tears from me on this one.xixplea 10

Actually, I was responding to your assertion that "He assassinates American citizens with a thin veneer of due process." You have now changed the discussion. There are two absolute rules of war. Rule 1-Peoplke will die. Rule 2-You cannot change rule 1. People in the combat zone are more likely to be killed. This has happened since before recorded history. The sins of the father are visited upon his sons. as we said in my war, "Sorry about that."

That being said, I'll respond.

"How about the teen-age son of a terrorist, target separately weeks after his father was killed, who had not seen his father in years and was not himself active in any terrorist organization."

Or so it is said...And Gitmo is full of innocent men, as is every prison or jail I have ever visited as an attorney.

"Or how about the fact the kill list is secret and, in most cases, not justified even after the fact."

Oh, heaven forbid that we keep military secrets. And if it is secret, how do you know the names on the list are not justified?
